Finger twiddling all around

GW Bush burbled a lot about "the coalition of the willing" to prosecute what essentially were his private wars. But where are the leaders of that coalition now, at a time when it would worthwhile to actually go to war not necessarily - with - but in Syria? If only to protect the population of that country that is slowly ground to dust between the forces of ISIS, al-Assad and a motley crew of militias.

Clinton showed how this can be done in the Yugoslavia (et al) conflict and the need was not nearly as great as it is now. A lot more people are dying and getting displaced right now. Britain, the US and Australia seem totally content to let Germany absorb the brunt of this exodus w/o so much of batting an eye. And the rest of the Europeans are cowering not daring to say a peep about intervention.
